Application of an anemometric hot-wire probe to the measurement of a velocity field downstream of an automotive ventilation outlet
Šíp, Jan ; Tuhovčák, Ján (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the research of the flow in front of the benchmark automotive vent. Using thermoanemometry, the velocity field in the area in front of the vent was measured in detail and the intensity of the turbulence was calculated. Computational fluid dynamics of the air flow from the vent was also performed using the STAR-CCM + program. In addition, the influence of the surrounding surfaces simulating the real environment of the automobile on the air flow from the vent was investigated. The diploma thesis contains the calculation of measurement uncertainty. The purpose of this thesis is to obtain complex data on the velocity field and to use them for validation of Computational fluid dynamics.

Velocity profile measurement downstream of swirler
Zejda, Vojtěch ; Hájek, Jiří (referee) ; Vondál, Jiří (advisor)
A burner is very important device in process furnaces that significantly affect the production of emissions during the combustion process. One of the key things in development of the modern low-NOX burners is the evaluation of flow field downstream of an axial blade swirler inside the burner. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is often used to predict the attributes of the flow. Predicted values should be validated with measurement. It is the reason why the velocity fields for several choosen swirlers were measured. The hot wire anemometry was choosen and the dual-sensor probe was used during the measurement. The data can be then used for CFD validation. This thesis describes procedure of measurement set-up. The experimental facility was designed according to the anemometry method. The new probe traversing system was designed, which provides desired accuracy. Five different swirlers were measured. Large data set, need for customized post-processing and control over calculation procedures lead to new software design. For each swirler the velocity profiles were gathered and the swirl numbers calculated. That final data were transferred in to graphical format. Uncertainty of measured data was calculated. Results show counter-rotating flow in some areas closed to the swirler. Some drawbacks of current measurement set-up are discussed. Based on the thesis reader can obtain the information and knowledge for consequent measurements of swirl burners velocity profiles.

Experimental study of turbulence downstream of a wire mesh
Uřičář, Filip ; Pech, Ondřej (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the convection behind a mesh grid and consists of three parts. The first part presents current of knowledge in the generation and damping of the turbulence by the mesh grid. The second part presents experimental results of the measurement. The third part of the thesis is focused on experimental data processing and analysis. The method of hot wire anemometry was chosen for the speed measurement, namely Streamline by Dantec and for experimental purposes track had been constructed in the Laboratory of Ventilation Systems at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology. Based on the knowledge gained from the study of literature and the consultations, calculations and technical possibilities of the instruments used, grid measurements were performed for convection from 150 to 300 liters per minute, which was sufficient to generate turbulent flow. For the experiment, a solid grid through which the fluid flows has been chosen, due to feasibility of the experiment.

Analysis of flow from the car vent using thermoanemometric probe
Šeda, Libor ; Fojtlín, Miloš (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
In this master’s thesis there are summarized fundamental findings about air flow velocity measurements and afterwards introduced the measuring track for automobile car vents, measured object and track arrangement and all used components. Velocity field measurement method is how wire anemometry, and apart from 4 main cases measurements of free air jet, there are velocity profiles in piping measured as an input for CFD simulation. Air vent evaluation criteria are described and their assessment is done for specified cases. Further, there is a CFD simulation presented with comparison to experimental data. Uncertainty of flow rate measured and flow rate setting is determined. Improvement points and encountered issues are presented. Visualization and evaluation program coded in MATLAB environment enables easy data display of CTA results and will serve further vent quality assessment.
